Cate West Zahl Bio

Cate West Zahl

Cate West Zahl first studied art under Lee Newman at the Holton-Arms school, and then went on to earn her BA in Fine Arts from Hamilton College. Her academic training was based in the standards of a perceptual fine arts tradition grounded in the technical study of life. These formative years spent working from live models, painting landscapes "en plein air", and learning the elements of formal composition via still lives provided a strong foundation from which she could explore more explicit abstraction. This occurs out of her loft studio in Charlottesville, Virginia where she lives with her husband and three sons.
